PROVIDE NEW THRILLS FOR NEW ENTHUSIASTS 
OSE hybridists are ever at work 
endeavoring to produce new and 
better Roses. All Rose-lovers owe a 
debt of gratitude to these pioneers who are 
pushing on to new frontiers. 
New varieties should be considered the 
“spice” and “dessert”? of Rose-growing. 
Standard kinds are the “entree”, but when 
you know exactly what a Radiance or 
Etoile de Hollande or President Herbert 
Hoover will do in your garden, then there 
are greater thrills ahead when planting a 
Rose not only with a new name but with 
‘a new plant habit, and better form and 
color.

3 for $6.75 
10 for $22.50 
PEACE. HT. (A. Meilland, 1945.) All-America Rose Selection for 1946. Pat. 591. Magnificent 
spectacle for flower show, garden or home. The large ovoid buds are yellow, soon showing a water- 
melon-pink picotee edging to the petals. Huge, full, open bloom, which undergoes a transformation 
of coloring from cream-yellow to a delicate over-all flush of pink suffused with softening yellow as the 
blooms opens. To illustrate this Rose accurately would actually require seven or eight good pictures 
to show the phenomenal change in colors from the tight bud to the fully open bloom. Every stage of 
bloom development shows different color combinations in perfect harmony never before attained in 
Roses. Above all else, it is these fascmating color-changing characteristics that, In our opinion, make 
this a great new Rose. And contrary to what might be expected when such delicately refined colors 
are produced in nature, the fine substance in every petal makes for long-lasting beauty whether Peace 
is allowed to develop fully on the plant or is cut for the home. $2.50 each; 3 for $6.75; 10 for $22.50.
